homeostasis/metabolism
• islet cells isolated from 12 week old males secrete a third less insulin in response to high glucose as compared to wild-type controls
|
• 30 minutes after glucose injection, mice only had a 30% rise in insulin compared to a 100% rise in wild-type mice
|
endocrine/exocrine glands
• Mafb production in cells producing more than one hormone suggests delayed maturity of the secretory cells of the pancreas
|
• 10% of pancreatic polypeptide producing cells also express somatostatin which represents a 5 fold increase compared to wild-type controls
• 4.1% of pancreatic polypeptide producing cells also express insulin which represents a 20 fold increase compared to wild-type controls
|
• 2.7% of glucogon producing cells also produce insulin representing a 10 fold increase over wild-type controls
|
• islet cells isolated from 12 week old males secrete a third less insulin in response to high glucose as compared to wild-type controls
